re: Summer Plans?

The boss is taking all of us estimators and PMs to Kalispell, MT to fan out and fly fish for a week. He's leaving it up to me to select the date. I have no friggin' idea what the snowpack was like this past winter so I'm clueless as to when the meltwater runoff will subside enough to allow for good flyfishing before it gets too hot and fishing is curtailed in the mid-afternoons to avoid stressing the trout. I guess I ought to be making a few phone calls to the shops up there and checking the forecasts.

Hopefully we won't have the excitement that we did last year with a big-arse grizzly at Polebridge on the upper Flathead.

Apart from that, for the family vacation, I reckon the wife will direct us to visit Sandy Hook, MS to see my best friend from college all those years ago and spend time with his youngster to get him ready to play in Tiger Band in a few years' time. (The kid just started trumpet this year in junior high.)
